NORTH Korea has claimed it has carried out the planned demolition of its Punggye-ri nuclear test site in the presence of foreign journalists today.

The destruction of the infamous site, which lies deep in the mountains of the rogue state's north-east, happened just hours before before leader Kim Jong-un's meeting with Donald Trump next month was cancelled by the US President.
